Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
by Rachel
Keller
I remember my mom
making these delicious bars. We all loved the soft "tasty-cake-like"
chocolate peanut butter bars. When I make this dessert for my family, it
disappears quickly!

*This recipe won a blue ribbon at a city fair. These bars freeze well and taste great frozen!
Ingredients:
1 c. milk
2 T. margarine or butter
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
confectioner's sugar for dusting
1 1/4 c. peanut butter
12 oz. chocolate chips (about 1 1/2 cups)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350. Scald the milk and margarine. Cool mixture and add the sugar and eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Then mix in the dry ingredients. Pour the batter into a greased and floured jelly roll pan.
Bake the cake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and dust with confectioner's sugar. Spread with the peanut butter while the bars are still hot. Refrigerate to cool. Melt the chocolate and spread on the cooled bars. Let cool before cutting into squares.
Yields about 36 bars.
